“Lord, you are here.”
The one-armed Walian came to Rhodes, put his hand on his chest and bowed before speaking.
“Walien, thank you for your hard work.”
“Lord, after opening this place, except for my subordinates who went in once and confirmed that there were no traps after opening it and conducting a preliminary search, no other person entered. I can guarantee with my life that all the items inside are not missing.”
“well.”
Reaching out and patting Valian’s shoulder, Rhodes led the people into the witch’s secret vault.
After entering the secret vault, it’s not that everything you see is golden light, but the golden hills can almost cast shadows on people.
Most of the property that the harpy witch lineage accumulated for two hundred years is here. Some of the gems similar to luminous pearls can be used as light sources and are embedded in the surrounding walls, so that the light in this underground secret vault is not dim.
“Wow!”
Kress looked at the hill of gold coins and gold nuggets in front of him and couldn’t help but exclaimed softly. Caitlin was in a similar state, almost unable to bear to trample on the gold spread under her feet.
However, Rhodes just glanced at it and stopped paying attention to it.
Money is nothing compared to power. When Kress and Caitlin look at money, they only see money. But when Rhodes looks at money, he sees finance, taxes, and general equivalents. Only Not the money itself.
What’s more, these gold coins are indeed the lowest value items in this secret vault.
“I really didn’t expect that those witches could actually do this.”
Walking into it, stepping on the gold coins, Rhodes’s eyes were more focused on the surrounding stone walls, because these stone walls were covered with ancient words and graphics, and these were not the original stone walls here, but were unknown to witches of all ages. Wherever they were obtained, they were all stone walls that recorded all kinds of extraordinary knowledge.
Although they are somewhat chaotic and unsystematic, in this era, these things are wealth worth far more than gold coins and gems.
The harpy witches of all generations should have regarded this place as their most private boudoir, so all items are in chaos and order, just like those stone tablets recording extraordinary knowledge: the light ones are placed together, and the dark ones are placed opposite. In terms of position, the same is true for the water and fire elements, as well as the earth and wind elements.
At this moment, while the four of them were observing the huge secret vault, Caitlin suddenly shouted: “Lord Rhodes, come and take a look.”
Hearing this, Rhodes and Fatis beside him quickly walked over.
In the center of the secret vault, Caitlin was lying on a piece of ground carved with a circular formation, looking intoxicated and talking to herself feverishly.
“What’s wrong, what is here?”
“There are many secret words on it that I don’t recognize, but because dark spells and undead secret words are used in them, I can still identify them. This should be a military strengthening array! The Jackal Guards should be from this The secret of the invincible Jackal Guards strengthened inside is here.”
Caitlin raised her head and stared at Rhodes, saying excitedly and enthusiastically.
“Invincible in the wilderness, the Gnoll Guards.”
This is not an exaggeration. The Harpy Witch relied on this terrifying army to make a surprise attack with thousands of troops, and the elite ones were the Jackal Guards. What is even more terrifying is that after fighting such a war, the Jackals The People’s Guards still did not suffer many battle losses.
Later, they were tricked by Rhodes twice in a row, and the whole army was destroyed. Although they had fought twice, Rhodes himself knew that none of the Jackal Guards he fought against were in peak condition.
“Can you control activating it?”
“There should be no problem, but it will take some time to study, and activating this should consume a lot of energy and have many usage restrictions.”
Of course, if it can be used infinitely, the witch Magna will directly transform all the gnolls under her command into the gnoll guards, then there will not be so many forces distributed in the wilderness. There was unity in her hands.
Not only is this reinforced magic circle, but there is also a stone pillar-shaped building in the secret vault. Through the sensing device in his hand, Rhodes can confirm that it is an auxiliary building that allows the blood-patterned heavy armor to automatically recover.
“I just wonder if Caitlin can change its function so that I can benefit more.”
A large amount of treasures, extraordinary materials, magical buildings, and the inheritance of extraordinary knowledge. The harvest from the Harpy Witch’s secret vault is unimaginable. These are all wealth that can greatly enhance the foundation of Lonely Mountain Castle.
Even the relatively lowest value of one million gold can greatly alleviate the financial problems of Gushan Castle in the early stages of its establishment.
At night, after Rhodes had initially sorted out his thoughts, he met Lesarit and his wife, Mrs. Gera, again.
The dinner was very sumptuous, including pan-fried lamb chops with ginger sauce, roasted vegetables with herbs, fish soup, pan-fried prawns, beef skewers with marjoram and wine that had been collected for several years.
Although the vast majority of people in this town still eat roasted mice and wild vegetables, there is no problem in supplying only a small number of people with high-end ingredients produced in small quantities.
“Cheers, my beautiful lady.”
“cheers.”
Rhode raised his wine glass and bumped it gently with Mrs. Gera. Because of that kind of respect, the corners of Mrs. Gera’s mouth curled up slightly.
It’s just that compared to his wife, Lesarit seemed a little restrained and uneasy.
Although he didn’t want to mention it at this moment, Lesarit didn’t like to talk about other things besides military matters.
Besides, he was always worried about it, so he finally asked at the dinner table.
“My Lord, today I saw some information about the town’s military training. Are there really no problems with the weight-bearing, running and shooting training? Is the data true and reliable? Sorry, I don’t want to be so rude, but as far as I know, this Lonely Mountain town seems to have been liberated from the oppression of foreign races not long ago, and those soldiers have only been trained for a short time.”
In one sentence, he asked the crux of the problem.
Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult/nearly impossible for a group of human slaves to reach the level recorded in the data after a short period of training.
And this is why Resarit felt uneasy, because these data were given to him by Fatis, and he believed that Fatis would not lie to him, but it was hard to believe that these data were true. If it was true, then the training level of the lord in front of him was far above his own, and he seemed to have no need to hire him.
However, his wife Jera had already enjoyed the life of being a superior person in the Lonely Mountain Castle, but this was probably something that his ability could not bring her.
